The Glendora Police department is withholding information of an arrest for a weapons violation case that occurred at noon Aug. 27, 2019, in the Recording Arts building. The Citrus College’s crime log indicates the weapons violation case is still open. The Inmate Information Center of The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said the arrest of now retired performing arts professor Timothy Jaquette was at 10:59 a.m. on Sept. 16, 2019, in Glendora. The information indicated the permanent housing assigned date and the bail amount but doesn’t include the address of the housing location. Jaquette said in a Facebook message to a Clarion editor about the incident that “no
criminal intent was found by any of the agencies involved, so no charges were filed.” Jaquette retired on Sept. 18, 2019, the Board of Trustees meeting agenda for Oct. 1 said. Dean John Vaughn of the recording arts division said in a phone call to a Clarion editor regarding Jaquette and the weapons violation that he “does not speak on personnel matters.” A Clarion editor made three calls between Dec. 16 and Dec. 18 to the Glendora Police Department about the case. Amanda and Cory from the Glendora Police Department, whose full names and positions were not provided, said Jamie Bamba was the investigating officer for the case. Bamba did not reply to the voicemail left in December. The Clarion editor left a voicemail to the watch commander, whose
full name was not provided by the Glendora Police Department, also has been left unanswered. Another call made to Bamba at the Glendora Police Department on Feb. 20 was also left unreturned. The latest call made to the Glendora Police Department on Feb. 24 was answered by the patrol officer, Sgt. Layayi. Sgt. Layayi didn’t provide his full name because he said it’s “informal.” Layayi said the procedures the Glendora Police Department has taken to provide the Clarion information for this case are “not normal procedures.” Layayi said the full names and positions of Amanda, Cory and the watch commander were not provided because they “did not relate to matters to the investigation of the case.” Layayi told the Clarion editor that Bamba is not the
investigating officer and would not be able to provide that information. The Clarion editor sent an email to the city clerk of the Glendora Police Department, Kathleen R. Sessman, on Dec. 16 for records of the weapons violation. Sessman said the editor’s email was “forwarded to the Police Department” because it was “not relating to public information.” The email has not been answered since. The Glendora Police Department also withheld information about the arrest of an administrative assistant for the Citrus College Foundation, Clarence Cernal, on allegations of committing a sex offense.After nearly two months of delays and numerous requests by the Clarion editor, the Glendora Police Department released a redacted version of the log that identified Jaquette’s arrest.
